the indictments were found. This
court is therefore unanimously
of the opinion that the order and judg-
ment of the District court for the Third
Judicial District of Utah must be re-
versed and remanded to that court with
direction to grant the writ OF habeas
corpus PRAYED for and to take such pro-
ceedings thereon as may be in conformity
! with the law and not inconsistent with
| the opinion OF the court. The opinion
was by Justice Harlan.
